If you want to see for yourself how rough the streets are going to be, watch the trailer/opening cinematic for yourself. You'll get to see how no one really cares about graffiti in this town. Not to mention, you'll see a bit more of some in game action. Even though it is machinima style, you can get a good idea of what to expect when the MMO finally opens up to the world from beta.

How could a city get to be in this state? I mean really. Are all the cops in town just lounging at the local pastry shops? Are they under paid? Or are they just pansies?
